   1 # dnsdist
   2 `dnsdist` is a highly DNS-, DoS- and abuse-aware loadbalancer. Its goal in
   3 life is to route traffic to the best server, delivering top performance
   4 to legitimate users while shunting or blocking abusive traffic.
   5
   6 `dnsdist` is dynamic, in the sense that its configuration can be changed at
   7 runtime, and that its statistics can be queried from a console-like
   8 interface.

  10 All `dnsdist` features are documented at [dnsdist.org](https://dnsdist.org).

  18 Install dependencies from Homebrew:
  19
  20 ```sh
  21 brew install autoconf automake boost libedit libsodium libtool lua pkg-config protobuf
  22 ```
  23
  24 Let configure know where to find libedit, and openssl or libressl:
  25
  26 ```sh
  27 ./configure 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/libedit/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/opt/libressl/lib/pkgconfig'
  28 make
